The deep level spectra in both p+-n homojunction and n-type Schottky GaN diodes are studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) in order to compare the role of the junction configuration on the defects found within the n-GaN layer. Both majority and minority carrier DLTS measurements are performed on the diodes allowing the observation of both electron and hole traps in n-GaN. An electron level at Ec−Et=0.58 and 0.62 V is observed in the p+-n and Schottky diodes, respectively, with a concentration of ∼3−4×1014 cm−3 and a capture cross section of ∼1−5×10−15 cm2. The similar Arrhenius behavior indicates that both emissions are related to the same defect. The shift in activation energy is correlated to the electric field enhanced-emission in the p+-n diode, where the junction barrier is much larger. The p+-n diode configuration allows the observation of a hole trap at Et−Ev=0.87 eV in the n-GaN which is very likely related to the yellow luminescence band.

The annihilation of thermal donors in silicon by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) has been studied with deep-level transient spectroscopy. The electron trap AO (Ec – 0.13 eV) observed after heat treatment at 450 °C for 10 h, which is identified with the thermal donor, disappears by RTA at 800 °C for 10 s. However, four electron traps, A1 (Ec 0.18 eV), A2 (Ec – 0.25 eV), A3 (Ec – 0.36 eV), and A4 (Ec – 0.52 eV), with the concentration of ∼1012 cm−3 are produced after annihilation of thermal donors by RTA. These traps are also observed in silicon which receives only RTA at 800 °C. This indicates that traps A1–A4 are thermal stress induced or quenched-in defects by RTA, not secondary defects resulting from annealing of thermal donors.
